API to interact with Alma sets
Suggested by LIBIS consortium in their presentation today.
-
The December 2016 Release introduced additional capabilities for managing sets (creating, updating and deleting) via APIs.

I was about to submit the same idea, and then saw this idea already posted. I have use-cases that involve the need to create managed sets of titles or items that cannot be created within Alma natively. One example is the need to create managed sets for the "Close Lost Loans" job, that involves selection of items based on the various loan attributes. I can create those sets in analytics, and then manually create a set in Alma, by exporting barcodes from analytics for use in creating the set. However, since I need to create these sets on a regular basis, I would prefer to automate the process, by creating the set of barcodes using the analytics API, and then using an as-yet-undeveloped managed set API to create the set in Alma.
